Tourism Development Workshops
Texas

The Texas Commission on the Arts (TCA) is working with the Texas Travel Industry Association to present a series of tourism development workshops. The series, Saddle Up! Rein in the Power of Tourism for Your Community, running from June 2009 until November 2009, will share the latest information and strategies to help Texas communities build and sustain local tourism success. The TCA will have staff on hand at each of the workshops to help communities learn how to develop and promote their artistic and cultural assets to build audiences and increase tourism. TCA Executive Director Gary Gibbs will be a featured speaker at the Rockport workshopand will address the topic of developing and promoting cultural districts. For more, contact TCA Director of Marketing and Communications Gaye Greever McElwain.
